    WHAT IS A MAKERSPACE?
    Makerspaces provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage
    students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply
    engage in science, engineering and tinkering. (Edutopia)

    Makerspaces, sometimes also referred to as hackerspaces,


    hackspaces, and fablabs are creative, DIY spaces where people can
    gather to create, invent, and learn. In libraries they often have 3D
    printers, software, electronics, craft and hardware supplies and tools,
    and more. (Open Education Database)

    A place where you can make stuff to show what you know. (Sherri
    Kenworthy)

    WHY SHOULD YOU CREATE A


    MAKERSPACE?

    Makerspaces give students opportunities to

    Be creative in demonstrating their knowledge


    Collaborate naturally and freely share ideas
    Give students ownership of their learning
    Learn the design process and that failure is just a starting
    point

    HOW DO YOU CREATE A MAKERSPACE?


    My makerspace journey included:

    Research: Articles, Conferences, Pinterest


    Surveys: Gathering input from students, teachers and parents
    Funding: CCSD Promising Practices Grant (PTA, Foundations, Donors
    Choose)

    Space planning: Shifting three different rooms and lots of weeding


    Set up: Lots of delays and hiccups along the way, but we did it!
    Excitement: Keep students, teachers and parents interested and
    excited with teasers, tours, demonstrations and media center lessons

    LESSON IDEAS
    You can create makerspace lessons that support the classroom
    standards as well as ISTE and AASL standards. Dont forget to give
    teachers a private tour or even a make and take to get them excited
    and in a collaborative mood!

    Bee bots - cardinal directions, grid coordinates


    Augmented Reality - plant needs and parts
    Art collaboration students design in art, print objects with 3D printer
    Video or Music projects with Macbooks, iPads, or Green Screen
    Challenges give groups random objects and have them make
    something

    Centers great way to start small to see if theres an interest and/or if


    funding is limited
